JOB OVERVIEW

I’m hiring an editor for a serious, approximately 70-minute YouTube documentary about what happened to the Vanderbilt fortune.

The final narration, script, chapter structure and detailed visual plan are complete. The editor’s role is to source rights-cleared archive material and build the finished film.

The visual approach is:

* Authentic historical photographs, documents, maps, newspapers and engravings
* Genuine period film where it exists
* Restrained movement, evidence graphics and reusable visual systems
* No flashy “YouTube automation” style
* Absolutely no AI-generated images or video, synthetic archive footage, animated faces or fake historical recreations

Every visual and music asset must have an item-level source link and rights evidence suitable for commercial YouTube use. YouTube downloads, copyrighted documentary clips, watermarked media and unsupported “fair use” claims are not acceptable.

The selected candidate will first complete a genuine paid 2-minute-36-second Cold Open test. If successful, the full film will be delivered chapter by chapter.

To apply, begin your reply with VANDERBILT and provide:

1. Your two strongest relevant documentary or archive-based edits.
2. Exactly what you personally did on each example.
3. In 2–3 sentences, how you would verify and record commercial-use rights for one archive image and one music track.
4. Your editing software.
5. Your proposed turnaround for the test and full film.
6. Your best fixed all-in price for the paid test.
7. Your best fixed all-in price for the complete film.
8. Your price per finished minute for similar ongoing work.
9. What archive sourcing, music, revisions, project files and rights logging are included.
10. Every cost not included in your quote.
11. Whether the test fee is credited against the full-project price if hired.

State your currency clearly. Give the most competitive fixed price at which you can genuinely meet every requirement. Potential future documentaries may follow, but this is not guaranteed.
